I suspect that 1. post-singularity reality would be so starkingly different to the current ones that it would be alien to about the same degree to all people regardless of generation 2. people mostly see “uploading” as “being the same, but reasonably better” too. I.e. they believe that their uploaded version would still be them in nearly all aspects. I don’t quite understand how that could be possible. Would machine have to accurately emulate each atom of my body? Or it will be some supersentience that has only some similarities to the original?
Also, I believe that meat people would have the intrinsic objective value as the irreplaceable source of the data about the “original” people. Just like Sentinelese are the irreplaceable source of data about uncontacted tribes.
